Dear Lover,

Poem

I want to consume you.

Take you in whole.

Like a snake eating its prey.

I want to know, have, see, handle all the parts.

But I also want to savor every piece of you.

Tease myself with you.

Carefully taste every nuance of truth in the blue sea of your eyes.

Feel every wave of emotion that ebbs through you. Have its salt burn my skin.

And the heat burn me up into ashes to travel with the wind blowing over your chest.

To feel the heart alive inside you and hear the words it spells out with its beats.

I already know it is worth the wait.

I already know I’ll move in slow motion with you.

I already know how bad it hurts.

I already know the treasures awaiting me.

I have already decided to frolic and play in your oceans and weather your storms.

And it doesn’t matter if I die here in your hurricanes

or find frightening monsters in your depths

or if I am left abandoned on a secluded island.

I’m coming anyway.
